Just wondering if anyone else enjoys a cigar (or 2) while out fishing. I always intend to bring one but seem to forget in trying to get all my other gear ready. Not talking about swisher sweets but a good quality cigar. If there is enough of us - maybe we could have a fish 'n' smoke gathering. Good Luck!! Paul

Boy I'm glad you were not talking about what the dogs leave behind. laugh

Been a while since I had a good cigar, I think I just may head to the smoke shop and see whats new. Love the smell of a good cigar but those potent ones are nasty when you can smell them 50 yrds down the ice.. Next couple of days going to be good sitting out on a bucket and the cigar is looking mighty nice.

Never touch one cool

I'm going out on a limb - but with a name like "cigarguy" I'm thinking your joking laugh So there's 3 of us - c'mon is that all? I figured there'd be more of us. Tomorrow I'm bringing a Gurkha I've been wanting to try. Paul

I should have "Cheap Cigarguy" as a name. I have tried a few of the finer cigars and just haven't found anything I like. For a quick smoke, I have a Backwoods, Honeyberry. For a "sit-down" cigar I have Havana Sweets, Honeyberry......I'm a flavored smoke guy. These are about 65.00 for 25, so, it's a fair price. I just haven't found a real(non-flavored) cigar I like and I'm sick of spending money only to be disappointed. In my humidor I have 3 or 4 different kinds. I buy my online and save quite a bit. I go on a cigar HSOforum and they have great info on all types and prices of cigars.

Nothing like a Arturo Feunetes Curly Head Cigar. Nice and mild good smoke. Spelling could be off. I think i will get some for the LOW trip in a couple weeks. yes I do throw the butt in the garbage..

Romeo y Julietta Reserva Real is what I smoke. I like the Lonsdales. They sell for about $8 each but I bought a box of 25 online for $110. I even handed a few out for Christmas presents.

I plan to pack a few with the rest of my stuff this morning as I get ready to head up to Mille Lacs for a day of fishing.

Nice - now we're talking. For the record - I didn't mean to exclude swishers and other "flavored" cigars. What I meant by "good" cigar meant one in which you had to prepare (cut) to smoke and light with a cigar lighter. I have had swishers on the lake because they are easy (and available at any gas station). Cigars in my humidor I have to "think" about packing. A cheapo cutter in the tackle box might be in order along with some wood matches. So, do we have a get togther - fish and stogies. I live on Prior Lake am willing to host but also am willing to travel. Lets get a count and geography of who would be "in"

In - Prior Lake, MN

The king of infused (flavored) cigars is Drew Estates. I spend plenty of time enjoying a Drew Estate Dirt Torpedo from the Natural collection, or the Kuba Kuba which is one of my favorites. Drew Estates have so many to choose from with many different flavors it is incredible. Tight Lines and Tasty Tokes!

I used to smoke alot of cigars but have cut down quite a bit because of the expense, and now usually reserve good cigars for fishing trips. I used to smoke big cigars but now they kick my butt so I pretty much stick to the little ones in the tins....10 per tin. I have a five day fishing outing next week and plan on getting either Ashton, Partagas, or Macanudo in the tins. They are just the right size for me and they taste great.

Been looking for a good humidor....not sure where to go to buy a good one in the metro....managed to get some Cohibo's from Mexico on my honeymoon accross the border so I want to try and preserve them the best I can....also...if I were to keep those and some other cigars in the same humidor would I be ruining the flavor of the cigars? I don't know a whole lot about the finer details of good cigar smoking so just looking for some info here!! Thanks everyone!! Hey Muc....where do you pick up those Drew Estates??

Macunudo was a fav of mine back when I smoked cigars. I tried a ton of them and wasted a lot of money doing so. I found it just to spendy. Heck the cheapest ones would be $8 all the way up to $35 a piece. Too much $ for me. Oh and Im the guy with THOUSANDS of dollars in cranks/sticks. grin

When I was on the ship we went to Brit ruled HONKKONG (I know how its spelled, but it turns into king kong when I spell it right) and I bought some Cubans. When we hit the states we had to "declare" what we brought in on our customs forms. Needless to say, they got left off the form wink Man, they smoked up nicely, end dipped into some fine brandy. Good stuff

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
